Introduction
This manual was compiled in compliance with the the ISO 3600 standards and the here contained
instructions comply the requirements of the Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC in force in the European
Community. For tractors sold or used outside the European Community, local laws will prevail.
Main protections on the tractors discussed in this manual.
This operation and service manual is valid for all countries and all models. It contains photos, notes and directions
both for standard and optional equipment. Therefore it can give details for parts not installed on your tractor with
respect to the local laws in force and according to ordered optional equipment.
The tractor is supplied complete with safety devices according to national or international laws. For your own safety,
please always use correctly such devices and check them for function. If you have any doubts concerning their

REGULAR USE
This is an agricultural tractor, whose function consists essentially in traction power. It is therefore specially designed to
push, pull, carry or operate some interchangeable implements for agricultural purpose, or to tow agricultural trailers.
This machine must be driven and operated by an operator suitably instructed, firmly seated and wearing a fastened seat
belt.
- To be driven or operated standing or from outside the cab or the operator’s seat, or without a fastened seat belt.
- To lift persons.
- To transport persons, within or outside the cab or the operator’s seat, in any condition (work or road transport).
- To be used in hazardous atmosphere.
- To be used in forestry.
- To be equipped with front loaders if the tractor is not provided with a suitable structure to protect the operator’s seat
from falling and projected objects.
WARNING: Improper use of the machine, specially on rough terrain or slopes, can make it tilt over. Pay
particular attention in case of rain, snow, ice or anyway on slippery ground. It may be necessary to step out of
the tractor to check personally ground quality. In the described conditions, always keep the load as close as
possible to the tractor and the ground.
WARNING: Do not try to get off the moving tractor, even if it is overturning, to avoid being crushed under it, but
remain seated with the well fastened seat belt and hold firmly the steering wheel.

SAFETY - STARTING UP
Warn bystanders before starting the engine.
Before starting, walk around the whole tractor and any
attached equipment. Make sure that no one is under, on,
or close to the tractor or equipment. Let other workers
and bystanders know you are starting up and don’t start
until everyone is clear of the tractor, implements and
towed equipment.

Safety at starting
Make sure that the tractor dual brake pedals are locked
together at all times unless you are making turns in the
field which require independent use of the brakes. Make
sure the brakes are properly adjusted so that both brakes
engage at the same time.

and cause injury or death. If required, put ballast
weights on their front support and on rear wheels
as described in this section of the Operation chapter.
Ballast weights must be used according to the
manufacturer’s directions. NEVER add extra coun-
terweights to compensate for an overload. It is
better to reduce the load.
Make sure your tractor is ready for the job it must do.
Know the rated load capacities of your tractor and never
exceed them. Be certain that any equipment or implements
you intend to use DO NOT exceed the load rating of your
tractor. Be sure the tractor and implement PTO rev/min
match.

NOTE: Use the maximum (III) settings for fast cooling, fast heat or for fast defrost. Use the high (II) or

NOTE: Under certain conditions the heater fan can run at maximum speed when the control is in the 2nd, 1st
or OFF position. This is because of heat build up in a temperature controlled override switch, after a long
period of operation, and is a safety feature designed to prevent overheating of resistors in the circuit.
When the pressure indicator lamp is illuminated, the air conditioning system has turned off due to refrigerant
pressures that are too high or too low. This can indicate that the system needs service or that the ambient
temperature is too cool for air conditioning operation. To start the air conditioner again, turn the control to the
OFF position and then back to the ON position.
NOTE: The system has two safety switches to protect the system for low refrigerant level and high
restrictions. If, during tractor operation, the air conditioner stops working, see page 234 for more information.
NOTE: The system is equipped with an environmentally safe refrigerant, HFC-R134a. Never recharge the air
conditioning system with refrigerant other than HFC-R134a as this will result in loss of cooling and permanent
damage to all air conditioning components.

When the implement towing eye contacts the release mechanism inside the hitch coupling, the hitch
automatically locks the implement towing eye in place.
The operator must manually inset the hitch pin to secure the implement to the tractor.
NOTE: Make sure local regulations are followed when towing implements/trailers. Only use trailers with a
towing eye that matches the clevis pin diameter and does not have excessive clearance. See page 110 for
more information.
IMPORTANT: Maximum vertical load capacity is 2000 kg (4409 lb) depending upon the capacity of the rear
tyres fitted. Where applicable refer to your approval documentation.
IMPORTANT: Keep the hitch clean and protect all moving parts of the hitch from corrosion, (including the

The hitch system gives position control and load control of soil engaging implements.
Your tractor could be, depending upon customer specification, able to accept either Cat II or Cat IIIN
implements, conforming to SAE-ASAE standard dimensions. If your tractor is equipped with a Cat IIIN
hitch, the hitch can be converted to accept Cat II implements with the use of either reducer bushings,

When using the three point hitch ensure there is sufficient clearance between the rear tyres and the lower

The top and lower links must be adjusted correctly so that the implement can work at the required depth and
that the lower links are free to move up and down with the shape of the ground.
After making any adjustments, carefully raise the implement to make sure there is clearance between the

The performance of a Radial tyre is determined by the Load Index and Speed Code which have replaced
the Ply rating found on Crossply tyres.
The maximum load which can be carried by a tyre is dependant upon the Load Index quoted on the tyre

The name says it all
An excellent heritage
The McCormick brand is a true classic in the manufacture of agricultural machinery
and equipment. From the world’s first ever practical reaper in 1831 through the
long and distinguished line of tractors that followed, the McCormick badge
epitomised quality, craftmanship and innovative design. Now the name that
pioneered a transformation in agricultural efficiency for more than a century and a
half is reborn.
A wealth of experience
Manufacturing is based at plants that have long and distinguished track-records of
tractor and transmission production. Working in harmony for many years, the
award-winning workforce is highly skilled and experienced. Who better to breathe
a new life into the McCormick legend.
A commitment to quality
The McCormick tractors of the 21st century remain true to the values and principles
that made McCormick a world-beater for so many years. That means no
compromises in quality. It ensures strict compliance with some of the most
demanding manufacturing standards in the industry. And, not least, it heralds a
renewed mission to achieve ever-increasing productivity levels for our customers.
Renowned reliability
McCormick tractor users from yester-year still happily relate stories of their tractors
unrivalled reliability and appetite for work. Whilst, technologically, the new
generation of machines bear little resemblance to their predecessors, they are
every bit as dependable - and more so. Every single working part is designed to last
- even in the most punishing environments. Hour after hour, day after day, out in the
field or in the yard, a McCormick tractor won’t let you down.
